Sunday, January 15                  Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend
Rev. Winnie Gordon 

Rev. Gordon will join us remotely from Birmingham, England. She considers herself a black British Unitarian and brings a fresh perspective on the American hero, Martin Luther King, Jr. 

The Rev. Winnie Gordon (pronouns she/her) is of the Black British Diaspora, queer, cisgender, Minister in the Unitarian faith serving the Birmingham New Meeting Congregation. Her involvement in the wider Unitarian movement includes a number of occasions as a Summer School facilitator and theme speaker, member on various Unitarian Committees including, Unitarian College Academic Board, and the Worship Studies Course. More recently, Winnie completed a Master of Research Degree investigating the inclusivity of People of Colour in the UK Unitarian worship community. She is also involved with Ladywood Community Project, a local charity that aids families experiencing financial hardship and poverty. In her spare time, she loves to read, enjoys life sculpture classes, and hand-building ceramics. Winnie believes learning is life-long and so continues to explore faith, worship practice, and justice issues. 

Our Share-the-Plate offering will go to TBICO. TBICO (The Bridge to Independence and Career Opportunities) offers employment related education and training to disadvantaged or low-income men and women at no out of pocket expense to the student with a goal of employment providing adequate income to support their family without government aid.
